GULF STREAM Complaints

I'VE RECENTLY NOTICED A RATHER SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM ON MY GULFSTREAM INNSBRUCK 26FBD TRAVEL TRAILER. THE FLOOR JOISTS ARE NOT PROPERLY ALIGNED WITH THE STAMPED BOLT HOLES IN THE STEEL SUBFRAME. THE ASSEMBLER APPARENTLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE DRILLING THE HOLES IN THE PROPER LOCATION, SO SOME BOLTS ARE 'TOE-NAILED' (ACTUALLY 'TOE-SCREWED') IN. OTHERS WERE JUST LEFT OUT. I NOTICED THIS WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE FLOOR HAD BECOME EXTREMELY UNEVEN, AND WAS SQUEAKING TERRIBLY. THIS COULD BE REMEDIED BY RE-DRILLING THE SUBFRAME, BUT IT APPEARS THE FLOOR JOISTS ARE DAMAGED BY IMPROPER BOLT INSERTION. THE SUBFLOOR HAS BECOME UNSTABLE.

VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE PEDAL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS OFF, IT EFFECTS THE GAS PEDAL. THIS PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AND WAS UNDER RECALL A YEAR AGO. NOW THE OWNER IS BEING TOLD THAT HIS VEHICLE IS PAST IT'S WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOTHING THE MANUFACTURER CAN DO. *PH THE ACCELERATION WOULD NOT RETURN WITH THE CRUISE OFF AND WOULD RETURN SLOWLY. *SC *JB

THE TOE ON THE FRONT END OF THE CLASS A MOTORHOME WAS IMPROPERLY ALIGNED. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THAT THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE TIRES WEARING OUT PREMATURELY. *AK THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS RESPONSIBLE. AS A RESULT OF THE PROBLEM, THERE WAS A FLAT TIRE AND THR TIRES WORE OUT. *SCC *JB

ABS LIGHT INDICATOR FLASHES THEN IT STAYS ON. DEALER HAS KEPT THE MOTOR HOME FROM SEPTEMBER 11, UNTIL TODAY, BUT CAN'T REPRODUCE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WHEN OUR RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW. THE TREAD COMPLETELY SEPERATED FROM THE TIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIRE ON OUR MOTOR HOME TO DO THIS. WE HAVE FIRESTONE STEEL BELTED RADIALS R4S LT 225/75 R16 M/S TIRES.
